on ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-05-31 revision 28117) [x86\_64-darwin10.3.0] and  
rake 0.8.7

I am experiencing this error whenever i run rake.  
Any suggested solution?

How you installed 1.9.2dev in your system?

Looks like is OSX, and if you installed 1.9.2 manually, you might have  
override the default bundled version which maybe it didn’t update the  
stub scripts (/usr/local/bin/rake).

I would recommend you instead of doing that, use a saner and cleaner  
environment tool like RVM:

[http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/](http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/)

That will allow you have 1.9.2 and not mess with the bundled OSX  
version of Ruby.
